Rev. David Wills, an eminent Pres
byterian devine, of Philadelphia,
preaching on the subject of divorce,
took for his text: "What therefore
God has Joined together, let no man
put asunder.n
In referring to the divorce courts of
Philadelphia and Chicago, he made the
astounding announcement that in the
former $50 divorces had been granted
in 1886 and in the latter, for the same
period $50, and in the whole country
the average of divorces was six per
cent. of the marriages. In searching
for cause for this unhappy state of
affairs the learned divine said the prin-
cipal cause was mercenary matches,
loose legislation, and indiscretion in
words, deeds, department and dress.
He said, "a wife or daughter may be
arrayed in all the gorgeousness of ORR
entail grandeur. Her costumes may be
of the finest silks and satins, studded
with diamonds and pearls; her form
may be fairer than that of Venus de
Medici and her speech gemmed with
all the wit and wisdom of sage philoso-
pliers, but without discretion and ves-
tai virtue all her charms are scattered
like broken wrecks upon an angry
ocean,
The cure he said was, "a pure and
abiding love-a love that sweetens the
pleasures and softens the sorrows of
conjugal life. True love once born
never dies. 1t weeps tears over the
graves of disgraced husbands and dissi-
pated sons"
II was asked, how true love could be
discerned? will answer in the words
of great Greek philosopher: First,
by burning bushes when both parties
are present; second, by the aching
heart when they are. absent; followed
by indigestion and melancholy, and
third and last by the cold sweat. When
you get the cold sweat. it is dangerous
to delay. 1t is the proper time to be-
come united in the bonds of matri.
mony. If any of my young friends
here tonight have the cold sweat, if
they will call on me after the services
will endeavor to make them con
jugally happy"
He warned the public against hasty
and inconsiderate marriages and said
! What the country needs are $4,000
old-fashioned wives and mothers whc
can rebuke these hordes of silly women
who believe their chief spheres is out
side and not inside the household"

AT REST NOW FOREVER.
The Remains CT President and Mrs
Lincoln Transferred to a New Grave.

The Remains CT President and Mrs.
Lincoln Transferred to a New Grave.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, April 14.-The
remains of President and Mrs. Lincoln
were taken from their secret resting
place this morning and inferred in the
north vault of the Lincoln monument
in Oak Ridge cemetery. Where the re-
mains of the distinguished American
have rested for number Of years has
been a mystery. Great care had been
taken to keep the event of to-day a
profound secret. For several days work
about the monument had been kept up
diligently and every one connected
with 1t was sworn to secrecy. This
morning members of the Lincoln
monument association and guards of
honor assembled at the monument and
moved about tmysteriously. They went
in the monument and the door was
locked. After persistent endeavor a
reporter was admitted. A coffin with
the lid removed stood in the room. In
it was all that was mortal of Abraham
Lincoln. The remains were in re-
markable state of preservation and the
features were very distinct. The silver
plate on the coffin was bright.
The secret grave was directly under
the north base of the obelisk. While
the remains were exposed the Presi-
dent of the Guards of Honor turned
them over to the monument associa-
ton and received a certificate to that
effect. The coffin was then sealed up
and placed in the grave in the north
vault which was bricked up and ce-
mented. The coffin containing Mrs.
Lincoln's remains, which had also been
brought from the secret grave, was
placed beside the casket containing the
martyred Presidents remains. A brick
arch was then built over the coffins
covered with hydraulic cement mixed
with broken rock. Guards will be on
duty at the tomb until the cement be-
comes hard.
The marble sarcophagas in which the
public supposed the remains to be is
still in the vault.

III igh Taxes Forever,

This is the motto of John Sherman,
standing candidate for the Republi-
can nomination as President. These
are his words, spoken in his Southern
tour:
The surplus can, it seems to me, best
be reduced by the expenditure Of that
surplus for the good of all, and especial
ly where it is most needed. 1t is most
needed in this great and yet undevelop-
ed section of our common country, full
of natural resources, full of undeveloped
wealth, full of new vim and energy.
What is this surplus? tits the amount
of money collected from the people by
the Government in excess of its needs.
1t is produced by unrepealed war taxes,
maintained through the criminal neg
lect of Congress long after the necessity
for the taxes disappeared. And instead
of stopping this surplus by the natural
and just method of reducing the taxes
Senator Sherman would perpetuate and
spend it. He would spend it, further
more, as q bribe for the political sup
port of a section that, according to his
own testimony, does not need it. A
section that is 'full of natural resources,
full of undeveloped wealth, full of new
vim and energy" surely does not re-
quire to be made the subject of the
nations charity. The wonderfully
rapid development of the South by
private enterprise and capital shows
that it is not in need Of bounty or
bribes.
Against this sentiment of the Repub-
lican false doctrine as made by Senator
Sherman we place statement of the
true doctrine as made by Southern
man and a Senator CoIquitt:
| The best place for dollar that is not
righteously demanded for the public
good is in the pocket of the man who
earned it.
The people of neither section can be
deluded with the idea that it will con-
duce their prosperity to pay needless
taxes out of one pocket in the hope of
having them come back to the other
pocket fructified by the handling of
collectors and contractors. The sur
plus should be stopped, and stopped
now Youngstown Wndicdtor.

Remains of a Mastodon Found Near

Nearly Three Pounds.
Especial dispatch to the Enquirer

Bucyrus-A Tooth Weighing
Nearly Three Pounds.
Especial dispatch to the Enquirer.
BUCYRUs, o., April 1.-THE report
that the remains of mastodon had
been eXhumed east of Trio, this county,
attracted your reporter to that vicinity
to-day. The facts of the matter are as
follows: While engaged in ditching on
the Walter Green farm, one mile and a
half east of Trio, j. D. Mitchner came
upon the decayed bones of mammoth
proportions. The remains thus far un-
earthed were found at a depth of not
more than two feet in marshy piece
of ground just east of the house, and
that other bones will yet be found is
quite sure. The bones are of unusual
proportions, but are mostly SO far de-
cayed as to render it impossible to
measure them. The teeth of the ami
NAL are almost perfectly preserved be-
cause ofthe enamel. The largest tooth
found measured six and three-quarters
inches in length, four inches in width
and twenty inches in circumference.
1t weighed two pounds and ten ounces.
The other teeth diminish in size to the
smallest which is three inches each
way and weighs less than one pound.
These are the second remains of this
class found in Crawford County. On
August l3, 1888, while Mr.. William
Hahn was engaged with his workmen
in making excavations for millrace,
they came upon skeleton ola masto-
don at from five to seven feet below
the earth's surface, in soft, spongy,
swampy land. The enormous proper
tions of the animal may be imagined
when it is known that the skull and
upper jaw weighed 100 pounds, and was
forty-two inches long and twenty-six
inches broad. Its eye sockets were six
inches in diameter, while its tusk-sock-
cts were twenty-five inches deep and
seven inches in diameter. The skele-
ton passed into various hands, and was
finally sold to Mr.. Barnun for $1,000,
but was subsequently destroyed in his
museum fire in New York.

One poor family, in the hope of keeping
"a roof over their heads, barricaded the

broke down the doors and by means of
ladders ousted the tenants from their

Business Booming.

sist in saying it is a dull season,
it's patent to all that we are do
ing a rushing business. 1t is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying Of the |'Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
1t has always been the aim
of J. G. Saur to save money for
his customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up a pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the "Little Dutch
man. at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every Known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur's
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the "Wall Paper King
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all. Prices on these
goods are so low that the poor
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than a neat pattern of paper on
the walls.
Bear in mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock of Wall
Paper in this section of country.
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities,
and always gives his customers
the benefit of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at.
It is indeed astonishing that
such a small outlay will buy
such beautiful paper and add
SO much to your homes. But
come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
for Paints and Oils. His Dia-
mond White Lead is known the
world over to be the best, and
his stock consists of all varieties
and colors, ready mixed or not,
just to suit yourselves. This is
the time Of the year to do paint
ing and those contemplating
"fxing up" a little this spring
should come in and see Saur
and his immense stock of Paints
and Oils. He has also a full
stock of Brushes, Of all sizes and
for all uses.
The sLittle Dutchman's"
Book department is a marvel,
and needs only to be examined
to stamp wonder upon the coun-
tenances Of all-for he sells
them 50 cheap, almost giving
away some..of them.ss
